REVIEWS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
|
Big wings make Marta different and, like many differences, get her teased. But her monkey friend encourages her so she doesn't let the teasing stop her from flying. In my opinion that's a lesson
most kids need to learn and this book is a fun way to teach that lesson.
But what will Marta do when the one who teased her needs help?
The bright, colorful pictures by Eugene Ruble help draw kids into the magical world where animals can talk and a horse can fly. And, even though it's a picture book, Marta's Gargantuan Wings isn't
only for little kids.
-Janet Collins, Author and Teacher
Not to judge someone by their appearance is an important life lesson and a difficult one at that. For if you do you may miss out on a special individual.
Marta the Pegasus is confronted by the narrow thinking Aljor the bird who believes that Marta's enormous wings make her a freak. Contrary to Aljor's belief system, Stajon the monkey comes to
Marta's defense. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Keep your beak shut. Stajon stuck his tongue out at Aljor." What ensues between Marta and Stajon is a genuine
friendship of accepting others for who they are and not by their looks.
Their friendship is put to the test as a disaster occurs in the woods and the time for self discovery and courage is thrust upon Marta. Will she overcome the negativity towards her and save the day?
Find out in Marta's Gargantuan Wings.
J. Aday Kennedy's delightful story of finding one's place in society is a heartwarming story of acceptance. A must have children's book for classrooms, libraries, and homes to invoke non-judgment
and anti-bullying conversations with our young muses.
Eugene Ruble's illustrations makes Marta's the Pegasus' story come to life with enchantment.
